WHAMMY!, Los Angeles
*Every year we show exclusively shot-on-videotape works throughout September for something we call:* ***SOV SEPTEMBER****. Join us for this year's month-long exploration into the depths of some of the most under-appreciated margins of filmmaking. Usually no-budget, usually put together by small crews of friends (and family members, and neighbors), sometimes over-the-top gross, sometimes transgressive, and almost always like no other film you've ever seen - this series is for cinematically adventurous travelers only!* Booker Prize-longlisted novelist Chloe Aridjis (The Shadow of the Object) plays a fictionalized version of herself in Josh Appignanesi’s gritty, shot-on-video thriller, a dreamlike tale of desire heavily informed by the work of surrealist painter and writer Leonora Carrington. The character of Chloe is the co-curator of a new Carrington exhibit at the Tate Liverpool and becomes increasingly disillusioned about the scene she’s found herself in. She begins to notice a strange and mysterious man and embarks on something of a cat-and-mouse game of erotic fixation and psychological spiral. Wildly underseen and underappreciated, Female Human Animal rejects categorization and clarity for a more transgressive and true expression of our inner desires. (Mezzanine) **dir.
